Those are 194/168's you would use those as parking lights.

1. remove plastic engine cover(s).
2. remove dust/water cover behind center of headlight by unlocking the metal wire (located left side of headlight, can't miss it)
3. Once cover is removed, you will see 2 housings, one for DRL (big) and one for parking light (small) which is located above DRL. *Twist housing to the left to unlock, then pull out.
4. Remove bulb and replace with LED
5. Before you reinstall the housing, be sure to turn your lights on to ensure that the bulb works. If bulb does not light up flip it around and try again.
6. Put everything back the way you found it and ensure cover is nice and toight!

*Note: For driver side use 10mm to remove the washer fluid tube for easy access.

Yes. remove anything that you feel is impeding you from doing a proper install. I put in my aftermarket intake before changing up my lights, so I never worried about that.

Let me know how it goes...you're welcome to PM

^^It depends... Most do not need to remove the air filter box. It is a tight squeeze though.
